Chapter 387: Initiative II.
Dean didn't make any moves, picked up his knife and fork and concentrated on the food in front of him, as if there was no one around him.
For a full two or three minutes, the waitress was very embarrassed to put away her temptation. Confused, with a hint of anger, ready to turn around and leave.
"Wait!"
Dean spoke suddenly.
"What is the matter with you, sir?"
The waitress immediately turned around in delight.
"Help me change to regular soup!"
Dean gestured to the glass of ale.
"Yes, sir!"
The waitress replied in frustration.
"Thank you for your service!"
Dean threw out a silver horn again, and landed in the hostess's hand.
"Your generosity is truly worthy of gratitude!"
The waitress happily put away the silver horn, and then, briskly, walked to the kitchen, and in a few moments a full amount of soup was brought to Dean.
Putting down the soup basin, the waitress didn't dwell on it again, nodded to Dean, and left quickly.
However, the silver horn had apparently had had an extraordinary effect, and more waitress besides the waitress began to dangle in front of Dean.
At least, the table next to Dean had been wiped for the fifth time since Dean sat down.
However, no one came directly to Dean.
The rules are all there.
And here, of course, is no exception - if they don't want to be fired, then they should never disturb the guests while they are eating.
Dean ate his dinner intently.
And the hostesses did not give up and shuttled around him.
Until the arrival of the Grand Duke Sword Master.
If compared to ordinary girls, these hostesses are beautiful enough. Then compare it with the Grand Duke swordsmanship. These supposedly beautiful girls have become ordinary and inconspicuous.
Just look at the amazing looks of the other guests in the tavern.
But. The next moment, some of the locals immediately lowered their heads and did not squint.
Then, when the Grand Duke swordsman walked up to Dean, the guests in the tavern who had been given the tips also became well-behaved.
"It's famous!"
Dean said with a joking tone.
"Something is always inevitable, and then, something changes!" The Grand Duke Swordsman replied. Then, it cut to the chase: "See if you're in a good mood, do you have anything more to discover?" â
"It's not a discovery! It can only be called the beginning of a fairly smooth lĂŹ......"
Dean lowered his voice and briefly recounted what had happened before.
"You're trying to lure those guys out on their own? Need my help? â
The Grand Duke Swordsman understood what Dean meant when Dean's words fell.
"Of course! You must know that the side you represent is definitely the one who wants to know the truth about the Pirate Alliance the most! Dean shrugged his shoulders with a smile and continued, "What's your catch?" â
"My aunt didn't have any more information - the building was empty before she searched there. Except for two or three kittens, there is no harvest at all! And about the Seymour United Family ......"
Speaking of which. The Grand Duke Swordsman glanced at Dean unconsciously.
"Say, it's true that I have 'Zelgaon' in my last name, but that doesn't mean I'm so close to them - you should understand when you see that 'ancestral home'!"
Dean clearly knew what the Grand Duke Swordsman was worried about.
"According to my investigation, the families and chambers of commerce that the Seymour family began to want to win over and accept ten years ago, once they refused, they would not end well - most of them were either ruined or bankrupt, and in recent years, they have encountered shipwrecks and pirates one after another!"
The Grand Duke Swordsman said with a solemn expression, and even, Dean clearly felt a killing intent.
Some things are always like this, and they don't seem to be noticeable at all, or even, at all, but when something ties them together, it's absolutely so conspicuous and shocking!
The Grand Duke swordsman, who grew up in Nangang, is too familiar with some shipwrecks and pirates.
Familiar to the point of being like a few treasures.
After all, every time it happens, Southport hosts a funeral.
As one of the heirs of the Deta family, the chief swordsman of the Jade Grand Duke, she was always the main person, and she had seen those who had lost their husbands, sons, and fathers wailing and weeping.
Every time, it made her feel sad.
Every time, she couldn't bear to look at it directly.
And every time, it's so powerless.
After all, the power of the sea, the pirates hidden in it, is unavoidable for Nangang County, as long as there is a sea deposit for one day, it cannot be eradicated for one day.
Before, at every funeral, the chief swordsman of the Grand Duke always used such excuses and reasons to comfort himself.
Therefore, when she found out about another scene, the anger in her heart can be imagined.
"Tsk, the greed blinded them made them crazy!"
Dean sneered, and then said straightforwardly: "We are divided into two ways, I will stay at the 'Seagull Hotel' to attract attention, and you, instructor, please continue to investigate the matter of the Seymour United Family!" â
"Leave it to me! Be careful yourself! â
The Grand Duke Swordsman nodded, and at the same time, told Dean.
"Hmm!"
Dean smiled.
After that, the Grand Duke Swordsman sat by and watched Dean finish his dinner; Then, together, the two of them got up and left the 'Wind Extinguishing Tavern' and headed for Emerald Castle.
However, when leaving Southport, Dean took advantage of the cover of the Grand Duke's swordsmanship and returned to the dock area of Southport again.
A wide, thick cape, with a hood large enough to cover the face.
Dean walked slowly into the 'Seagull Hotel' -
It was a medium-sized inn that was neither small nor too small, and its customers were just ordinary businessmen or civilians.
Therefore. Inside a medium-sized building. Most of them are one-by-one shops.
"Bring me a private room!"
Dean said to the innkeeper behind the bar.
"There is nothing wrong with your choice. The single room in my hotel is definitely the best in the whole dockland, it allows you to look down on the whole dockland, and the morning sun of breakfast will shine into your room for the first time, think of this scene - you are bathed in the sun and listen to the sound of the waves of the sea...... And that's just three silver horns a day! â
In a flurry of compliments, the boss smiled and quoted a price.
The price is fair. It didn't mean to rip off customers.
So, Dean paid directly.
Then, led by the enthusiastic boss, Dean stepped into his room, even though the innkeeper was exaggerating about his own inn room.
However, the location on the third floor of the inn and the large windows did allow Dean to see most of the docklands, where the sunlight would naturally shine in.
Of course, the sound of the waves of the sea cannot be heard.
"Hmm!"
The innkeeper who had been staring nervously at Dean, worried that Dean would repent. After looking at Dean and nodding, he immediately smiled. Walked quickly to the door of the room.
"I'm serving dinner here, do you need it?" All it takes is five coppers! â
The innkeeper asked.
"No need, I just want a good rest now!"
Dean waved his hand and refused.
Although no more business was done, the innkeeper still smiled and closed the door.
Listening to the footsteps in the distance, the door gently opened, and a dagger was carved into a 'D' at the bottom of the door frame, in an inconspicuous position.
After that, Dean quietly closed the door.
That position, for ordinary people, unless it is extremely close, and the line of sight happens to sweep.
Otherwise, it's hard to see.
However, for some special groups, it is the place where they will pay attention to it first.
âŚâŚ
The night is getting deeper and deeper.
The busy and noisy Nangang dock area also fell into silence in the dark night.
With the exception of a few inns, all the shops were closed - the signboards were put away, the doors were locked, and there was no one except for the night watchmen.
However, today is a pretty good day for the owner of the 'Seagull Inn'.
After dark, several groups of guests came.
It's not the kind of guest who can only get enough food and clothing in the Chase shop, but a guest who needs a single room.
Although each one seemed a little hidden, the Kimpton brought was real, and it was enough to make him not think about anything.
After asking the guy to hang up the full sign, the 'Seagull Hotel' closed the door.
Except for one guy who was left on duty overnight, the rest of the people all returned to the room.
After about ten minutes, the whole hotel was silent.
The only movement was the snoring sound coming from the bed.
And this kind of snoring completely covers up some subtle sounds.
After a short break, Dean waited in good spirits.
Through some subtle movements, Dean even sketched in his mind the situation in front of the door and in the corridor.
A figure watched out for each other's mark, quickly searching for the mark he had left behind.
The sound of breaking the air from time to time is the movement left by the dagger cutting through the air.
However, until the target is found, these people appear to be very restrained.
There was no real fight.
Dean turned the candlestick at hand a little, went to the door, and pulled up the latch that was locking; Then, leaning back in a chair in the room, he waited quietly for the first person to enter his room.
